Looks like thereís going to be a lot of crying this week. From the Miami Heat to Russell, and then to Jeff I think, because heíll think the show will suffer in ratings without the Legend of Hantz.

I have to admit that when Russell was voted off last week, I was a bit upset. However, only for one reason: Redemption Island. Mr. Hantz being blindsided would have been that much better if it meant the complete end for him.

Following this episode, that all changed. While Iím not one to agree with someone getting a second chance (as in being knocked out of the game only to return, not a TAR NEL where a team isnít out at that moment), I think I definitely like this concept. Basically, for this week, it meant that someone put Russell in his place twice in such a short period of time.

I should feel bad for the guy since losing sucks, but I really donít. I really didnít appreciate his un-sportsmanlike behavior post match (not surprised obviously). Sure throwing a task isnít smart, but when a team has a plan/makes up for it going forward (and so far, so good), itís necessary. Sure as heck beats messing with oneís personal stuff around camp, IMO! At the end of the day, the show lost a familiar face, but I think Iíll be enjoying whoís left since they actually did a lot of people a favor over the past two weeks (thank you Matt!).

It's one of those things, as mentioned, that you can't believe since it's too good to be true. Anyway, it's time to enjoy Survivor like I used to since Season 18.

Every reality star is someone's favorite

Winning isn't everything, but it isn't considered nothing either. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a tribal council, a pit-stop, a boardroom, dimming of the lights, and so on

This must be my favourite Survivor moment yet. To have Russell semi voted off only to fear that he'd enter the game again, and then have him lose to Matt and get his buff completely burnt. He's gone, for good. Wow?!?!?! I can't believe it, but I'm ecstatic.

And I find it extremely interesting how Rob and Russell were both villains, but had totally opposite lives this season. One became such a pain to the tribe that they had to throw a challenge just to get him out, and the other has the whole tribe eating out of his hands. I don't know whether to be amazed by Rob's capability, or amazed that none of his alliance actually thought of getting him out. How could they not even suspect Rob searching for the Idol? And why do they have to listen to every of his instructions? I like Rob, I think he's redeemed himself from Heroes vs. Villains, but a part of me still hopes for him to get voted off sometime.

I'm worried for Ometepe, they're clearly not as strong as Zapatera, physically. Perhaps it was a mistake voting Matt off so early. Now Kristina joins Matt on Redemption Island, I'm still totally rooting for Matt, but I just can't see him winning challenge after challenge. We'll see how it goes.

Well I am ready for Rob to go too. I dont think it is too fair to all the other players to have two experienced players there. Russell's plan worked till all the new players (well most of them) had seen how he plays. Now Zapatera will do what Surivior is all about....find out who are the real players there. They will whittle out their dead wood....

Matt and Kristina appear to discuss Rob's manipulating of their tribe and seems like they make a speech to the spectators while at the duel. It is going to be fun to see how they come across. Whether they sound like they are whining or whether they are being prophetic. I just bet that Matt's little sweetie is there this time. She is already shakey in Rob's alliance.
